I'm about four years out of high school, and managed to gain about 25 lbs since then due to poor eating habits. I was always borderline overweight when in high school anyways, so needless to say, the added weight was making be feel pretty crappy about myself. Around February of this year I decided to do something about it, and have changed my eating habits and exercise routine. So far I've lost 34 lbs.

But now I'm into the weight that I've had, I like to say forever, but realistically I can remember having it for at least the last 8 years, and it's become more of a challenge to work off.

I've changed up my exercise routine a bit (have started jogging and weight training instead of just cardio) and I've started eating protein for breakfast everyday (before I used to just have toast), and I'm also keeping a food journal to keep track of what I'm eating.

My weight loss has been pretty steady at about 5 lbs per month, so I don't mind it taking a bit of time, but I feel like I've 'stalled' and aren't getting anywhere anymore.

I still have 16 lbs to go to get to my goal weight, and I was wondering if anyone had any helpful suggestions for me.

Thanks!
putting on weight after high school i think happens to a lot of people so i hope you did not beat yourself up too much for that.

how much cardio work are you doing each day? i too would be curious to see what your eating style is i think it would help



we are happy to have you here!
